Why do you fear climbing ladders? Lol, what contracts, are you working as a hitman for the mafia or something?

Yeah, I would rather wipe my ass with the 3 bucks than support that new scam <_<

Lol, I really hope that dayz never comes to the point that we are able to have million dollar mansions with helipads on the roof, that would be the day I quit playing dayz. We are survivors not a got damn bunch of John Travoltas with airstips on our lawn ^_^

I am on an old 'Ivy Bridge' CPU and a GTX 680, nothing fancy and Im quite satisfied with performance even in all the cities, never really look at FPS but I think it runs smooth as any game out there now. When the alpha got released it was a laggy mess... it chugs sometimes but it has become rarer and rarer with the latest patches, nothing gamebreaking. If this game has had any progress, I would say it has atleast when it comes to performance. Adding features into the game well that's another story(painfully slow progress).

The highrises around Cherno is my favorite city :) allthough I am allover the map.

If they make helicopters and mil jets as hard to fly as in the simulator 'DCS World', then Im all in for having them, because then it would actually take some skill to fly them(atleast a 6 months+ learning progress). If not leave em out, because having every average Joe out there being uber skilled fighter pilots is so damn unrealistic and in a real apocalypse only trained fighter pilots would be able to fly'em. Cars wether mil or not everyone can use so having them Im okay with ^_^ Or atleast make the helis simulate 'vortex ringstate', that would atleast keep 90% of us on ground(or crash into the ground) :D

And all this fancy tecnical way of saying things you mean that we actually can't see the milky way like in pictures with just our eyes at night without some advanced equipment, am I correct? :P If so I totally agree 'dude', hahahaha. Thanks for giving the 'we want milky way bunch' the tecnical version of, NO YOU CAN'T SEE IT :D http://www.youcanseethemilkyway.com/#how-to-see-the-milky-way EDIT: Looks like I was wrong,,,,but you have to time it right and the right conditions have to be met....so it's not an everyday evening event...it's rare...so If Dayz could recreate these rare occasions that we would be able to see it then Im all in, if not then just forget about it. Quote " The best viewing site would be from the middle of the ocean either northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere being" I live far on the northern hemispere(north of the polar circle) so I should encounter this phenomen more often than those nearer to equator, but I have to say I have never, ever seen it, even in rural areas with zero light pollution in wintertime(should be the best time to spot it) and even when on the ocean(im a fisherman so I am often out at the sea at night) in my 30 years of living on this planet... So it's rare, and seing it every night in dayz would be very unrealistic, it's more realistic the way it currently is.....

If a guy wants to sit hours on end reading ingame books waiting for someone to shot/rob, then by all means whatever give you the thrills in this game is entirely up to you :lol: . But please don't call it an art/skill, the only skill you need is being a very patient mothefucka.... But we need campers in this game just as all other playstyles, it's what makes this game intresting and diverse. So good luck to you and Machete Master(if he really exist) and happy camping. ^_^ BTW, Shrub, when are you gonna introduce us to this legend of a guy named Machete Master ^_^ :rolleyes:

Actually I would love to ask him a few questions, where can I talk to him?. He seem to always be mentioned in every single post you make, is he some kind of celebrety in the world of dayz? Does he carry a machete? Oh boy I sure would like to get to know this guy, I sure would love to learn some 'leet machete skills from this guy...why don't you ask him to come over to the forum and post:p (.....or dare i suggest that he's your imaginary friend that only you can see.....sorry if Im harsh...but you alwasy talk of him as in like everybody should know who he is)

Atleast he contributes making this game something different and more intresting than the usual KOS fuckfest that this game has become. I like to to try and 'survive' and in a real world situation like that I rather get raped than get killed, so I roleplay just as I would do in real life, making my character survive as long as possible. And I like challenge, so if I have to crawl many kilometers just to get my leg fixed I enjoy it and it's so rewarding when I actually survived that encounter than just take the easy route and combat log, just to respawn, go to the nearest airport and loot up in 15 minutes just to have a short life going back to Berenzino and join the KOS fuckfest party going on there, and then rinse and repeat, so freaking boring. I wouldn't play this game if it weren't for 'douchebags' like the OP encountered or such fine people like @Crazy_Spider. And no, it has nothing too do with freaking 'bondage' sexual fantasies!!! Maybe you are into such things in real life but are afraid to live em out in the game? :huh: If I wanted just a deathmatch expirience I would rather play COD, Battlefield ARMA or whatever...To actually hold up and kidnap people takes alot more skill than just killing people, and I admire people that do it, so I hate players that ruin their expirience and just combat log, atleast go out with a fight like @{Core} Blacklabel if you not want to spend time with the incoming abuse....or watch a video while you wait until it's over... I almost wish combat logging had some kind of punishment(hard to implement I know but still), anyone played Arma life?, there are rules against logging out when you get arrested or other RP situations, you actually have to serve 'time', does that mean people have some kind of sexual fantasies going to jail?

I would say, the people that combat log/chicken out in a hostage situation are the biggest 'douchebags' for not letting the other 'douchebags' have fun ;)

Lol you're one of those guys :P , atleast the people OP met was honest about their intention.. You are one off the biggest dickheads any friendly can meet in this game, don't get me wrong we need people like you too :D . This is what I love about dayz, you never know 100% wether to trust people and having all these different playstyles is what makes dayz exciting and diverse. Don't get me wrong though, I don't run around yelling 'kidnap me, kidnap me please', lol. But when Im in a situation like I don't have a chance of blasting my way out without dying I rather put my hands up and be kidnapped/robbed if there is a slight chance that I may walk outta there alive with just a broken leg or a desease from rotten fruit, Im all about surviving as long as I can. Although I play 'friendly' if the circumstance alow it I never join stangers, I just have a quick chat and then I move along, so I wouldn't fall victim to your unless I am unarmed and you threaten to shoot me if I don't do as you say :D

Well that's because it's Epoch and not Dayz. Go play Epoch if you want such things, or do as others suggested, gather in a larger group and take control of an area.

Yeah but I kinda liked the rural north in the mod, it was a safe heaven for me, also a good place to hide vehicles and tents(not always). Now I start seing to much concrete get rolled over my previous hunting grounds,,,,not too much fan of it, lol. I rather see they expand the already existing cities and make them bigger than taking over to much of the north, it's not 'unused'. Often met people up there in the mod..lone wolfs hideout from the gangs roaming the cities :P ..

Lol, I just let them so I can have good laugh and see what they will do with me :D . I love being kidnapped, wish it happend more often, most of the time they just kill me on sight.

Yeah, your probably right, im just impatient waiting for the zombie apocalypse, sorry :blush: . But I would like to have atleast some rural areas left where I can hide when the vehicles gets in, so as long as they don't get to exited adding new cities and remove all the wilderness....

I think the OP should said it was the mod he was playing, I thought he was just lying to make a good story, this thread should have been posted in the mod forum....

I think the night are perfect as it is, try play when there is full moon and you don't need the flashlight....or turn your gamma/brightness up if it's to dark for you..I personally turn my gamma settings down... I dont' know where you live but I have never seen the milky way at nightime ever in real life(in areas with zero light pollution on a place called planet earth), I see the sky just like it's in the game right now, just stars... I never understood the whining about the night being to dark, use flares, flashlights or that gas driven lightning and the world gets quite illuminated....Or if that isn't god enough, turn on your night vision googles(gamma) if you think being able to see everyhting in the dark at clouded days is more realistic to you... If only the night servers had been more populated I would play nightime 70% of the time, the night is what makes this game intresting, more creepy and a little more challenging. I am bored to death running around 24/7 daylight all the time(I am forced to it right now because nightime servers useallly just have max 10 players if im lucky, useally just 3-4)!! It's like when on a full server if the sun starts slighly suggesting going down and it gets a tiny bit darker you can bet before it reaches the horizon the server will be emptied, fucking hate that... It's a survival game folks and nightime should be a part of it, come join me in the darkness pussies and stop being such KOS daytime 24/7 whimps!!

The map is just fine as it is now(we don't need more cities, continue with this and the whole map would soon be laid on concrete), fire the map makers and hire more people to do the zombies and survival elements like deaseses and maybe we could get this game to look something remotely to an z apocalypse, just my 2 cents...

Yeah, they roleplay psychopat/bandits that has lost their mind because the world turned and they may have been in the woods for too long(in real life apo they would probably rape him too, because they may not have seen a woman for a long time).....I assume they stole he's gear too. And he could just crafted a splint and he would still be alive, and the deasese from a rotten banana isn't deadly. I think he should be happy that he was still alive and didn't get killed, fight on try and find a cure for the deasese (survival game, hello anyone...). I have been in the same situations as OP but I was lucky, after being harrased the bandits/pshycos gave me alot of loot just for playing along and give them the lolz. Combat logging/suicide in such situations is just being a pussy/weak in my eyes...

I finally was lucky to find 2 sets of walkie talkies and gave one to my friend so It's the first time since I got SA that I have been able to test them(I was thinking for a long time that maybe they where a myth). Was kinda dissapointed with the range, pretty much useless at it's current state. No wonder I never have been able to make contact with anyone, because it's so unlikely that there are any in my coverage that carries them and have it on. If the range was a little better it could actually have been a fun tool and useful.. Please, increase the range...

Thanks for the 'official heads up'

Had a handheld walkie talkie from the freaking 70's in real life, I could talk over 15km with it.... 1km is just ridiciulous, even the cheap ones for kids have better range than that... I taught the whole point with them was to replace sidechat and maybe hook up with strangers....in a more realistic way.... Don't be such smartass when you don't know what you're talking about.... With a more powerful stationary one you can actually talk across the globe if you have a good antenna and the athmospheric conditions are right... Yes I know what im talking about, been into that stuff myself when I was younger....(been an unlicenced radio amatour) If you where talking about VHF(very high frequency) radios the line of sight argument is true.....

Because some people think it's fun to be kidnapped and kidnap, including me and I also consider it being a bad sport to log off If kidnapped or hold up by bandits. It would ruin their roleplay, I think that's being a more dick than they are (why the hell do you people think the devs has put the handcuffs and burlap ingame?). People doing stuff like that instead of just plain old KOS is what makes this game fun. But anyway, I think the op is talking bullshit because as far as I know we can't drag people around yet..... :rolleyes:
